✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on here, thought about hwo I would answer the questions, read information on the schools website. The interviewers only have access to your personal statement and essays from the secondary application, so I reread those.

What impressed you positively?

I was interviewed by an M4 and two professors, one who was retired. All three expressed a great interest in the future of the school. The student said he would not have gone to any other school, not even University of Chicago, where his wife attended medical school. Everybody was happy to be there, and that really made a great impression on me.

What impressed you negatively?

Like at other interviews, I was afraid that my interviewers would forget important detials before they got to wirte their evaluations because they interviewed one or two other applicants within 5-10 minutes of me, and I noticed that one interviewer did not even write anything down before he took the next applicant.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty prepared after reading others' comments on here. It truly was very laid-back.

What are your general comments?

After my interview, UIC became my top choice
